Efforts to overturn the image that "traditional performing arts are inaccessible" are beginning in Fukuoka's Kawabata Shopping Street.
"Hakata Maiko Chaya Wanoka no Omote," following its renovation in February 2026, officially launched its morning hot pot and Japanese-style cafe on April 8th. New latte menus also offer an easy way to enjoy the Japanese worldview. It is attracting attention as a new style of cultural facility offering different cultural experiences in the morning, at noon, and at night.
■ Facility Overview
"Hakata Maiko Chaya Wanoka no Omote," located in the Kawabata-dori Shopping Street in Hakata's old town, which has over 100 years of history, is a facility where you can experience traditional performing arts such as Nihon Buyo dance, shamisen, and tea ceremony up close.
Under the concept of "Traditional Performing Arts in Daily Life," we offer different cultural experiences in the morning, at noon, and at night.
With hospitality from the proprietress born and raised in Hakata, performances by maiko, and resident interpreters, an environment where you can safely experience Japanese culture is prepared for both domestic and international visitors.
In particular, the fact that tea ceremony experiences are available at all times is a distinctive feature, making it a place where you can easily have an authentic cultural experience.
A system that allows you to understand at a glance "what kind of shop it is" has also been introduced, which is also a characteristic that allows tourists to enjoy it intuitively.
